Using the FROG-XT6-P
3.1
Safety Features
Protected Seating Position:
Seats are positioned behind the buoyancy panels and framework. This provides maximum
protection and minimises sense of exposure. The arrangement of the seats and individual
entry / exit points allow rapid access and egress, allowing faster and more efficient
transfers.
Fall Protection:
3-point harness system and grab handles protect from the risk of falling during transfer.
Vertical impact protection:
i.
Seats mounted on a suspension system which consists of coil springs and recoil
dampers
ii.
Semi-upright seat position and soft, pommel seats
iii.
Impact absorbing EVA foam feet
Lateral impact protection:
i.
Stainless steel frame
ii.
Buoyancy panels
iii.
High backed headrest designed to reduce risk of whiplash
iv.
Grab handles and saddle shaped seat cushion for secure seating position
Floatation:
Buoyancy panels ensure the FROG-XT6-P floats with both passengers and stretcher above
the water line. The FROG-XT6-P self-rights up to 90° inverted to the vertical position and is
very stable in a range of conditions.
